Good morning and what a beautiful day it is. Clear skies, cool breeze and the scent from the trees and marsh across the street is fantastic. I don't know why but a certain smell in the air brings back memories that no other medium can. Fond memories of being out on the farm in South Dakota early in the morning in August, that moist damp rich aroma of hay and grain being feed to the cows with just a hint of molasses - good times, long remembered.

I love this country and all that it stands for, but I fear for its well being.

When I look at what the liberals are saying on their blogs and what the news media prints everyday in almost every paper in the land, I always marvel at the hate that posses them. The hate for the very country that is the light of the world. A country that has given them everything. How did they come this point in time with such an obsession? Where did they develop such a twisted sense of right and wrong? Maybe it started out as just the opposition party, fighting the good fight as opposing parties have always done, especially if you are on the outside looking in.

It seems to me that once one start down this road of hate, turning back would be almost impossible. It would be like coming down off of a narcotic. The reasons would be the same as well - you take the drug because you can't see any other way to cope with your problems. You are out of ideas and you have no set of values to guide you in your daily life. The liberal is much the same - they started out having a philosophy and moral guide lines that help them make decisions, but when the very philosophy that was the foundation of their beliefs was founded on false premises, they didn't have the moral background to help them to figure where they went wrong. They are now standing all alone on the edge of the abyss of extension. They see the opposition party taking new and bold steps to solve problems using judgment that is founded on values that were established hundreds of years ago and have stood the test of time.

The only way left for them, in their little world, is to strike out at those that are moving forward. Those that have ideas and solutions that, all to obviously, work. The more that they hit back with name calling, the more irrelevant they become and the more vicious their attacks become. Over the years it is what we see today in the Democratic party and the liberal left - pure hate! They are obsessed with it and they are blind to it. It has become a way of life. It has eaten into their very souls. They are a people with no country, no moral values, and no living philosophy. They are a rot that has infected this country and which must be fought to the end. We have a history of courage in the face of adversity. We must rely on it now.

We must now bring to bear that deep seated pride in ourselves, our country and our God that has done so much for us all. We must prove again and again that we are what we say we are - a free country. A country that is dedicated to the welfare of its people.

It is note worthy on the Fourth of July that we take a minute out of our busy lives and reflect on what we have to be thankful for. We have so much!! Think about how we arrived at this point in time and all those that paid with their lives to make it happen. Thank God everyday the you live in this country and of all the blessings that he has bestowed on us. Also think about the obligations that we have to the rest of the world, the spreading of freedom, that go along with living in Paradise. We owe it to all those that went before us. We can not afford to fail.

See you later - enjoy the holiday
